Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 13 years, 1 month agoHi all, I don’t think I’ve seen a round-up of sessions related to alt-ac careers and concerns. Here are a few that have caught my eye; please add others that I may have missed!

As I look forward to heading to Boston this afternoon, I’m thinking about all the ways people might use this space during the convention itself. For instance, is anyone considering posting slides (or a link to slides) so that session attendees can follow along? Might be helpful for accessibility if people can’t easily see projected materials.
-
That’s an interesting idea. I typically post my presentations on my site after I’ve given them, but making it available during the presentation could be useful.
-
That’s what I usually do, too. My slides aren’t particularly useful without some text to go along with them, but I know it’s unpleasant to be at the back of a room and unable to see what’s up on the screen. Not sure I’ll manage to post my own in advance this year, but something to think about for next year!

Brian Croxall started the topic What IS digital humanities? in the forum
Digital Humanities on MLA Commons 13 years, 1 month agoNow that I’ve joined this group, I get to take issues with the idea of digital humanities being defined as broadly as it has been, right?

Trying not to procrastinate writing my #mla13 talk. But failing.

Weren’t you supposed to do this a few days ago? 😉
-
Hell no. It doesn’t start for 36 hours or so!

Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 13 years, 1 month agoWelcome to the Alt-Ac group! Be sure to check out Session 270 (“How Did I Get Here? Our ‘Altac’ Jobs” at the 2013 MLA Convention: Friday, 4 January, 12:00 noon–1:15 p.m., Back Bay B, Sheraton.
-
Thanks for creating this group, Brian! Session 749 will include some discussion about alt-ac career paths as well (http://mla13.org/749).
-
Curses. I’ll be gone by then. Leaving on Sunday morning this year. I might have to just make it a policy in the future that I come for the whole convention, period.
-
Sunday sessions are tough, alas.

Love the group; also again jealous of your talent for finding great images.
-
I’m not sure that I love the “stop” being in there, but I might look for something when I’ve got more time. This was a case of wanting to do something and get it up ASAP.
-
Super happy you’ve created this group, and really looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Katina Rogers replied to the topic Permissions on docs in the forum
Beta Testers on MLA Commons 13 years, 1 month agoHi Kathleen,
If it’s an issue you’ve already addressed, I may have just been seeing residual crumbs from when the private materials were included in public spaces. I got to the links in a roundabout way—I […]

Katina Rogers started the topic Permissions on docs in the forum
Beta Testers on MLA Commons 13 years, 1 month agoHi all,
I must be too nosey, because I keep clicking on docs that I don’t have permission to read. Perhaps it would be useful to have a label of some sort on items in the activity stream that are private to […]
